| Zac Finley | #2 on the day Date Climbed: Mar 26, 2008 | |
| Made the short walk up the summit after driving from West Virginia's HP earlier the same morning. Nice views at the summit with a awesome certificate in the mail too. And the thick wire gate at the trail head was down, so you could drive up the dirt road a ways when i did this. | |

| tioga | Easy Trek Date Climbed: Oct 17, 2005 | |
| Climbed it with a college friend. Probably the hardest part was trying to locate the "trailhead," which is just an orange 'HP' written on a tree on the side of the road. | |

| Florida Frank | A fine trail! Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2007 | |
| An enjoyable, easy hike up from the road. The trail blazes are gone, but the route is simple enough to follow. We had the summit to ourselves. | |

| vanman798 | 4X4ed almost to peak Date Climbed: May 29, 2005 | |
|  Ended up driving my 4X4 SUV almost to the peak, then walked the last 200 yard to peak. Nothing to see from up there, but bagged off another high point. | |

| gwave47 | Highpoint #13 Date Climbed: Jun 9, 2007 | |
| So did anybody know that there is another backbone mountain in Maryland 30 minutes away. I wondered around there for 40 minutes trying to find the highpoint via Mapquest directions. Finally I pulled out a map and realized I needed to be 20 minutes south of Oakland and not at Backbone Mountain 20 minutes east of Oakland. After that the hike was great, I really enjoyed it and bagged numbers 14 and 15 the same day. | |

| JohnMcPike | Took old route Date Climbed: May 30, 1995 | |
| Strugged up the side of the hill by the powerlines area through the thick brush, dense woods and no trail along the ridge. The summit has really changed over the years. | |
